Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a peek,
At the word “beer,” and what it truly means, you see!
The dictionary's right, it gives us quite a clue,
A fascinating drink for me and for you.
(Tap of the desk)
“Fermented” is key – that’s a bubbly delight,
Where tiny little creatures work with all their might!
They change the starch, you see, from grains so sweet,
Into something fizzy, a delicious treat!
Specifically, it's made from barley’s grace,
A starchy goodness in this flavorful space.
(Point to the board)
And hops are added – that bitter, fragrant plea,
To give it a tang and make it lovely to see!
Sometimes other things join in, you understand,
But barley and hops are truly beer’s command.
So “beer” is a drink, both bubbly and bold,
A story of brewing, centuries old!
Do you have any questions? Don't be shy, please share,
